Concorde burned nearly 50% of its total fuel load between pushback and reaching Mach 2. Afterburners were used for takeoff and transonic acceleration, consuming about 32.5 liters per second. Once established at cruise, fuel flow dropped to 25,629 litres per hour (as quoted by BA in their historical review of Concorde operations). Could modern Rolls-Royce engineers do better today?

Excited to share the news that MOSQUITO is about to become a whole lot easier to pick up. The paperback is published on Thursday! It will be, as they say, available in all good bookshops. Or you can pre-order and have it posted through your letter box on publication day ...

The Empire State Building's top was initially planned to be a docking station for airships in the late 1920s. Investors believed airships would soon be used for cross-Atlantic travel, and the building's top seemed perfect for docking. The plan was for airships to land at the top, secure quickly, and let passengers walk into the building's top floor. Then, they could take an elevator down to Manhattan, arriving within seven minutes of landing. A docking mast was even built on the building. However, engineers couldn't figure out how to safely dock an airship on a 1,250-foot building with strong winds. Airship companies considered the idea too risky, and interest waned. Still, a private blimp did dock for three minutes in September 1931, causing traffic jams below, but no unloading occurred. The era of cross-Atlantic airships ended with the 1937 Hindenburg disaster, when the world's largest airship caught fire while landing in New Jersey.

SAPPHIRE AND STEEL Assignment Four (1981) saw the intrepid agents come up against their greatest enemy, a Magritte-inspired entity with no face who lives inside every photograph ever taken - The Shape!

The boots and dog tags I wore every day that we filmed MASH just sold at auction for $125,000 - all going to the Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook U. I'm very grateful. The Center is thrilled. And so am I. apnews.com/article/alan-a…

Max Fleischer's trippy version of "Snow White" from 1933 remains a fascinating and bizarre piece of animation history. In this short Betty Boop cartoon, Fleischer and his team condensed and twisted the classic Snow White tale, taking viewers on a surreal journey that defies expectations. One of the standout moments in the cartoon is the inclusion of Cab Calloway, a renowned jazz singer of the time. In the middle of the animated film, Calloway appears and performs the hauntingly beautiful "St. James Infirmary Blues." The scene is a rare live-action segment, originally from another cartoon of the era titled "Minnie the Moocher," which was another iconic song associated with Calloway. Interestingly, the footage and music used in the beginning of "Minnie the Moocher" are clearly the same recording as the song "St. James Infirmary Blues" featured in the Betty Boop cartoon. In a clever editing move, the two pieces of audio are seamlessly joined together, creating a seamless transition between the two cartoons. Calloway's appearance in the cartoon is truly mesmerizing. He begins by singing the tune as Koko the Clown, a character created by Fleischer, and then undergoes a transformation into a ghostly figure. The animation beautifully captures Calloway's distinctive enunciation and signature dance moves, accompanied by a barrage of wild and imaginative visuals. In addition to the captivating animation, the cartoon also incorporates scenes from the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers," in which Cab Calloway once again performs "Minnie the Moocher." This inclusion adds an extra layer of intertextuality, as viewers are introduced to Calloway through this iconic performance. "Betty Boop in Snow White" is a testament to Max Fleischer's creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of animation. The cartoon showcases his unique vision and knack for blending different artistic mediums, resulting in a truly trippy and memorable viewing experience. Directed by Dave Fleischer and animated by Roland C. Crandall, the cartoon exemplifies the Fleischer Studio's distinctive style, characterized by fluid animation, vibrant colors, and a surreal atmosphere. Their innovative techniques and bold storytelling continue to inspire animators and artists to this day. Despite being a departure from the traditional Snow White narrative, Max Fleischer's version remains a remarkable piece of animation history. It stands as a testament to the power of imagination and creativity in bringing beloved stories to life in new and unexpected ways.
